Good unit August 7, 2008
Pros: Great picture, reception, a lot of features. Great for Geocaching.
Cons: Takes a while to acquire satellite's at first.
Very good Acquistion July 30, 2008
I was really satisfied with Amazon.com service. First of all, I bought the portable GPS on sale, and this was a really good price compared to its price in other stores. Besides, the product arrived only a couple of days after my request. It took me only 5 minutes to buy it. It saved my time and as they say, time is money!
Wrong manual July 29, 2008

I made a purchase of Garmin 250W, but it came with a manual for 200W, AND I am very disappointed.
Very nice navigator July 23, 2008
I am very pleased with the Garmin Nuvi 250W. It does a very good job for the price; it is easy to use; it has remarkably good coverage. You will not be disappointed in it. More expensive models have some more features, but everything you need is in the 250W.
A reasonably good value July 10, 2008
I've had okay results with this model, with a few caveats (which are probasbly not specific to this device):
No case is included with the device.
Some locations, such as restaurants which have been there for years, are not in the map database (even after the multiple-gigabyte download to upgrade the database).
Occasionally, it gives the wrong side of the road for a destination.
Losing satellite lock while driving, and never getting it back, can be a real irritation.
I'd trade the Canada map (I don't plan to drive there) for a bit more details in the US. For example, a "Park" can be just about any size (including a swing set at the public library), with no way to tell from the GPS itself. A little bit of detail regarding amenities, etc. would be nice. (Perhaps a future model will support Wi-Fi to bring in location details when requested?)
All in all, way cooler than a plain map, but the technology as a whole is not yet perfected...
